PunnisnaR AND PROPIETOtt THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1918 GOVERNMENT BY THE MOB. • (Toronto Globe, April 10) There is no longer a pretence of fair play in the Parliament of Canada. That the revered Chief of the Liberal party, as statesman of worldwide reputation, whose Parliamentary methods have always been most courteous and con- siderate, should be howled down in the Commons by a mob of opponents after the Speaker signified that he had the floor is a black, ugly stain upon every man who took part in the infamous affair, from Premier Borden down. But one word of comment was spoken by Sir Wilfrid when by formal resolut- ion of the majority the speaker's ruling was set aside and Mr. Hazen was given the floor, "Shame he said. That word wilt be re-echoed wherever men meet to discuss the revolutionary pro- ceedings of the Government. Sir Wil- frid had within the past two weeks given a signal proof of his desire to onduct the affairs of the country with dignity and decorum. He had consen- ted, much against the wishes of nine - tenths of his own supporters, to granting with a minimum of discussion a sixth of the supply for the fiscal year. The blocking or supply for the fiscal year. The blocking of supply was perfectly feasible and a quite constitutional met- hod of Parliamentary warfare. At the risk of offending the more ardent of nis supporters Sir Wilfrid insisted that the Opposition should facilitate the granting of supply. In return for this chivalry he has been howled down by a mob led by Messrs. Rogers and Borden. What object was to be served by for- cing Sir Wilfrid to give way to Mr. Hazen, despite the Speaker's ruling that he had the floor, does not clearly appear. Was it intended that Premier Borden's speech should go to the coun- try without a reply from Sir Wilfrid in the same issue of the Press? That seems to be the only explanation which fits the circumstances. And what ` a ridiculous one it is. The idea that the gagging resolution would be permitted to go through without debate could surely not have been entertained. Be fore the Parliament of Canada passes under gag law, Sir Wilfrid's voice, and the voices of his followers, from the greatest to the least, will be heard in every possible form of protest against the destruction of the right of free speech. The Tory majority may ride roughshod over the Speaker of its own choice, but it cannot daunt Liberals either in Parliament or out. The hisses that greeted Mr. Borden when be rose to vote that Sir Wilfrid Laurier be not permited to speak but that Mr. Hazen be given the floor, are but the first evidences of the storm protest that will be heard all over Canada when it is learned that the greatest and most courteous of Canada's statesmen was howled down by a yelling mob after the Speaker had urged that he should lie heard. invading Sassenach on the bloody field, Then Cluny blew a melody so fierce, so eldritch, so grinding and blistering to the soul' that every clansman ripped and dashed his way through the English hordes, intent on only one thing -to es- cape the fiendish screeching of the pipes. And that is why every grateful Scot to this day oherishes the bagpipe, the preserver of Scottish imdepeudeuce. He has beaten his sword into a plow- share, but he will always uphold the pipes to beat the band,-Harper's Weekly. CULTIVATE REPOSE OF MANNER. Repose is a mark of good breeding. It invests the person who possesses it with peacefulness and individuality. The fidgeting woman who lacks repose can be found everywhere. She is in church, where she drops her hymnal, fans herself incessantly, lets her gaze wander over the congregation and away from the service and changes her posi- tion in the pew half a dozen times. She is in the theatre, where she puts her hat first in her lap, then at her feet, then under her chair, then back on her lap, whispers loudly, giggles, munches bon- bons, mislays her opera glasses and can't keep track of her programme. She tra- vels on the railway trains, where she lowers and raises shades, calls the con- ductor to open the window and a few minutes later calls him back to close it, where she puts her coat on and off every few miles, walks up and down the aisle cant find her ticket when it is wanted, arranges and rearranges her hair, and then at the journey's end wonders why she looks tired and untidy. On the other hand, there is the woman of repose, who always looks as if she belonged wherever she happens to be. She is a good listener, a good talker, a good companion generally, because she is definite. And often you give her cre- dit for having more personality, more depth than she really has, for she does not give herself away with every sent- ence she utters and every move she makes. Perhaps her mind wanders some- times, but she does not show it by allow- ing her 'gaze to wander too, She gets restless, but does not fidget. Shelsome. times mislays her glasses, but she does not frantically turn everything in sight upside down until she has made sure they are not on her nose. WHY IS A BAGPIPE? Where, we desire to know, did the Scot get the notion that a bagpipe is a musical instrtument? Or isn't that the idea ? • From the Atchison Globe. What Scot ever called the pipes a musical instrument? Isn't Brother Ed. Howe a practical man? Surely he knows the origin of the pipes. In the old wicked ways bands of predatory Eng- lish marched over the border, They were as bobd add sturdy as the Scots and far greater in number. Cluny Mac- Wheuppert, the laird of Glengarramoyle, in desperate need of a sure defence, in- vented the pipes in secret and never let a skirl out of them till he faced the NEVER NEGLECT A HEADACHE.

You will find it wonderfully refreshing LIPTON'S TEA RENOVATING OF COMFORTS If you find that your comforts have been wearing out and think it necess- ary to have some new ones before fall, let me tell you a way to make them so they will last twice as long as the old way. Make your comfort of cotton in the usual way and cover with white cheesecloth. Tack it down rather close- ly with white cord, then make two ex- tra covers of dainty chintz, pink or blue cheesecloth, or whatever will blend with your bedroom furnishings. Pull this over the white comfort and tack it loosely with baby ribbon. You can have two of these covers for com- forts that are to be used rn the family beds so that they can be taken off and laundered at least twice during the win- ter. These comforts are much more sanitary, made in this way and the cov- ers are easier to wash than woollen blan- kets. Take your pillows andhave them tho- roughly beaten outdoors for two or three days. This will give them as good an airing as possible, and you can do the same with your mattresses. Be sure that you have a quilted or closely tied bed tidy made of white cot- ton cloth on every bed over the matt- resses. These will keep them clean and will pay for themselves many times ov- er in the wear and tear of the mattress and the good health of your family. Make them of white so they will show stains and dust and give you no excuse for not keeping them clean. They should be about half the thickness of a comfort. chronic Ntoraseh Trouble Cared. There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder stomach. It is not surprising that many auffer for years with such an ailment when & per- manent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? "About one year ago." says P. H. Beck, of Wake - lee, Mich., "I bought a package of Chamberlain's Tablets, and since using them I have felt perfectly well. I had previously used an number of differ- -eat medicines, but none of them were of any lasting benefit." For sale by all dealers. A CAUSE OP MUCH IN CAT- TLE RAISING.

SOME TOPSY TURVY METHODS 3 The Crew's Quarters Are Aft, Not For- ward, and John Blandly Seta His Course East South and Tells YON the Wind Is Blowing Fret» West North, The origin of the ancient Old world junk, like all things Chinese, le in- volved in some obscurity, fent its first model seems to have been a -Minnie conception of some tinge marine mon- ster. The teeth which are usually shown in ail the terrors of ferocity Ole the bow denote the mouth. Long boards running aft from the bow, boat to port and to starboard. represent the awe inspiring jaws. The sails are tins, while the tail waving aloft, an appen- dix which all properly constituted dragons of the sea must certainly have, is denoted in the high stern, But moat of these characteristics have lost ranch of their signillcauce in recent years, with the one exception of the eyes. which are always painted on the masts.. Captain Jobn is loath to part with them, for, as be warily exclaims: "No nave eye, no can see; no can see. no can go."

Then he will lay his lines off on the floor or on an open space of ground and build his ship as be goes along by the simple rule of thumb. Cousidering the result be baa attained, he is no doubt convinced of the superiority of his method over ev- ery other. Fir, teak and pine are the. woods- he uses in his construction. The seams of the bull are caulked, with rattan shavings and "payed" with, a cement of oil and. gypsum. The. whole of the bull is well tarred, while the upper works are smeared with, wood oil. '.Chen comes a final coat of paint -green, blue, white, red -in fact, any color but yellow. which must bet reserved for the many flags the Som - wend ship will carry to proclaim bee nationality. When it comes to equipments, they seem antiquated compared with the - ones we employ. The windlass is an elongated, barrel shaped roller extend- ing across the broad bow, on either side of which Is arranged ai• series of fixed spokes bearing a strong resem- blance to a wheel without a tire. Phreen this Is hung great teakwood anchors with Iron bound flukes and cables of eolr or bamboo rope. This ingenitfa contrivance is capable of being oper- ated by either band or foot, • in the way of sail the style depends on whether you are in north or south China. Among the northern Chinese: a long mainmast carrying short big sails is found. In the southern country the ,(� sails are generally of woven mat strips •~ sewed Into a single sheet and provided with yards at the top and bottom. The bamboo ribs crossing it serve to keep the hoops on the mast. in place and en- able the boatmen to haul the sail close on the wind.s.This mainsail is the chief dependence. though sometimes a "driver" is placed on the tnitraia Ruta g, small gaff near the bow. But bowsprits are nut considered at all necessary by John Chinaman. in the matter of rigging we find John quite familiar with everything he re- quire+, halyards, sheets and braces are used as with tie.
